In this clip I talk about the development of the Maltese language, which began as an Arabic dialect, but has been heavily influenced by Italian and Sicilian.
Maltese mentioned let’s gooo🥳🥳
Reminds me of that sketch in the Malta episode in the Geography Now channel where Maltese language is like an amalgamation of Arabic, Italian, French, and English

Me: “Are you an Italian dialect.”
Maltese: “Well, yes, but actually no.”
Good meme ngl.
as a moraccan
i can confirm that when i first heard maltese i thought a moroccan from the north was talking
and i undrstand 90% of it
cause northan moroccans understand arabic and frensh and spanish and english
not all of them ofc , and that why maltese make sense for us , cause it was latinized , just like us by two latin language .

It’s so cool that you research and present this info. Thanks to the max!
Being close in its pronunciation to the Maghrebic dialect, rather than the Levantine dialect, I have found the speech somewhat difficult to understand. However, while reading the language, I have found it much easier to recognise the words originating from Arabic.
Time to put it to test…!
Yep, check out the linked video!
“Which is now a separate language”, like all Arabic languages
Hi from Malta, a lot of the rideshare drivers here are North African and the ones that I’ve asked have mostly said that they could understand it to a large extent
Good job about the language!!! Once I’d watched a documentary about the origin of Maltese people and from the DNA tests had been prooven that their closest relatives were the Phoenicians.
